The best spots in Leeds to drink Botivo – the game-changing non-alcoholic aperitivo

If you’re looking to jazz up your usual dry January order, then look no further than Botivo.

We absolutely get it, when you’re out and about enjoying drinks with friends but opting to stay dry, the usual sparkling water or soda lime can get a little bit boring after a while.

And this is where Botivo steps in, a groundbreaking non-alcoholic aperitivo that promises a good time.

Created by a bunch of people who love socialising, eating and drinking, Botivo has been crafted with love and will ensure you don’t feel like you’re missing out on any of the fun.

But what really is Botivo you ask?

This non-alcoholic botanical aperitivo boasts notes of bright orange zest, fresh rosemary and thyme and is finished with bittersweet notes of gentian, wormwood leaf and organic wildflower honey.

It’s adored by negroni lovers and is best served with ice, soda and a wedge of orange. The perfect refreshing drink to kickstart your evening.

Made with real ingredients, no flavourings and low intervention techniques, it’s got a good conscious and trust us when we say, it tastes really good too.
